To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ALnxANnIc-R BURNET and HERBERT Tnnrnn, both residing at 3 .l itchetts Court, Noble street, London, E. (1., England, have invented certain new and us tnl Improvements in Ladies Toilet Devices; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear and exact description of the invention, suchas will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improved ladies toilet devices, and consists in the novel construction and combination of the parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.

The invention will be better understood by reference to the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is an elevation of this invention. Fig. 2, is a perspective view of the article. Fig. 3, shows the device in use as a hair switch holder.

Referring to the drawings, the whole article is made as a metal stamping, the upper part having teeth A. These teeth are turned forward as see Fig. 2, at approximately right angles and are of a length sufficient to enter the hairs or bristles of a hair brush to their foundation. The part B is stamped out as shown and turned over so as to form a clip; in' Figs. 2 and 3 the clip is shown passed over the back rail C of a bent Wood chair. The lower part I) of the article is spooned out so as to form a shoe horn. This part may be made of any desired length but in all cases is such as to be capable of engaging the lower or the upper rails of a chair back, as shown in Fig. 3, in which position the device may be fixed for-the operation of bri'ishing a switch as shown.

In operation to cleanse a hair brush the device is grasped by the part I) and the teeth A drawn through the bristles separating out the loose hair that would otherwise remain in the brush. As a shoe horn the upper part A is grasped it. being arranged that. the con-- cave' part is opposed to the side on which the teeth project. Again as a switch holder the device may be attached to a bed rail. chair back, or the front or side of a drawer, the switch being dependent from the teeth and in. a very accessible position for brush ing and combing (as see Fig. 3).

"X ladys toilet device comprising a body portion of sheet metal having a handle at one end and a comb at the other end the teeth of the comb extending lr'nigitudinally ot' the handle and havinggtheir free end portions arranged at an angle to their body portions and an outwardly extending spring tongue formed in the body portion adjacent to the comb, said tongue being arranged'to project downwardly toward the handle and being adapted to be sprung into engage ment with the top of a support and to support the comb in a raised position with the handle bearingagainst the said support.

I In testimony whereof we allix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
